Frederick Md County Fair CCW

I have not seen or know of any laws that prohibit concealed carry at fairgrounds.
I would carry there.

My family and I volunteer a lot of our time to the fair. The only sign that I have seen is a “firearms prohibited” sign at the beer garden. as far as I know everywhere else on the fairgrounds you should be good to go

Have to say, I'm a bit surprised. The last couple years I've been to the Delaware State Fair and The Mississippi Valley Fair in Iowa (statewide permitless carry), and both prohibited weapons of any kind and had wands/metal detectors/bag searches. However, this is the policy at Frederick:

The following items are prohibited:

• Weapons, or objects that appear to be weapons (with the exception of those permitted by the state of MD via licensed)

Frederick fair grounds are privately owned. More than one of the employees are packing, whether you know it or not.

Thank for update. I didn't know. Glad I asked. No carry today.

I read that policy to say that firearms are allowed if you have a license. However I'm also not sure that they just didn't screw up and meant it to say "licensed security" or something. Good luck!

That’s how I read it too. You are good to carry

If I were prohibited from carrying at the Frederick fair I would not attend the Frederick fair.

The county fair has two practical reasons for existing...for the kids to get a day off school and go have fun...and for the oldsters to see who they know is still living and breathing since the fair last year.

Outside of those I see no reason for going.

That's not wrong at all. I lived in Frederick for nine years never had any opinion of the fair other than it was best to avoid the area around the fairgrounds around this time every year due to the traffic.

Went last Saturday and definitely had a double take at the sign, didn't expect the "licensed" part. Wondering if they haven't realized that it's actually possible for everyday law abiding citizens be the licensed now. Noticed several gatherings of armed security and police as well. Wasn't carrying, as I didn't think I'd need to be on a Saturday morning/early afternoon.

I love County Fairs. Won’t be at this one but I’ll probably be up for the Oktoberfest.

The truck & tractor pull was quite good this year!

Yeah... Good stuff. The Best is Hemp's BBQ Beef Sandwisch's platter!! Tops alot of things. And Taking my 9 year old
granddaughter on rides and playing some of the games, make grandma and I feel like kids. Not much better than that
friends.

I took the kids Tuesday night for the demo derby. Of course did the obligatory waste of $90 before hand so they could ride the rides.

I carried the whole time. Never once considered not carrying. Though I’ve been carrying for 15+ years. Some of you seem too sensitive, looking for explicit permission to carry in every place you can imagine. Some sort of welcoming party. And when you don’t see it your gonads immediately shrivel and you do things like store your firearm in your engine compartment… madness…

Anyways, I got a good chuckle out of observing the firearms, holsters, and belts of the large amount of private security working the fair. I saw some pretty cringe setups.

The WVA Mountain Heratige Festible usually has a sign posted no guns we go every year for the past 20+ years.

So carry, until they ask you to leave.
